The 76ers did not extend a qualifying offer for Henry Sims, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Sims had a $1.2 million QO but Philly didn't prioritize the 25-year-old big man with Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor and Furkan Aldemir already on the roster. Sims wasn't even a reliable fantasy contributor in an ideal situation with Philly, for whom he started 32 games last season. Jun 30 - 9:47 PM

Henry Sims will start against the Heat on Wednesday.

It's still unclear who else will be in the starting lineup with Ish Smith (groin) questionable. Hollis Thompson and Robert Covington are also starting tonight. Sims isn't a great option tonight. Apr 15 - 6:38 PM

Henry Sims posted 12 points, seven rebounds, one steal and three blocks in a losing effort off the 76ers' bench on Sunday.

He logged only 16 minutes in an abnormally productive line vs. a weak opponent, so it shouldn't sway fantasy owners. The last time Sims scored double-digit points was on Mar. 2. Apr 5 - 10:14 PM

Henry Sims is doing his best to stay focused while playing a lesser role.

"I've been in this league, and for the short amount of time I've been in it, I've been through it all - trades, bench, starting, sitting in a suit - I just look at it as another thing that I've just got to be a pro about," Sims said. "I'm just trying to sharpen my fundamentals so when my name's called, I'm going to be ready." Sims actually played 12.5 minutes on Sunday, but he's had a nonexistent role since the Sixers have turned to their other frontcourt options. He's not on the fantasy radar. Mar 30 - 1:47 PM

Tony Wroten (knee) is expected to be ready for the start of the 2015-16 season.

Wroten is currently rehabbing after having undergoing surgery to repair a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on February 3. Even if he's ready for the start of the regular season, the 22-year-old will likely need some time to get up to speed so he's not worth much more than a late-round flier for fantasy owners at the moment.

Nik Stauskas (ankle) said that he'll spend time this offseason working to improve upon his defense.

"There were countless times last year I would go on the floor and I was targeted, right away teams would attack me, and the adjustment to the physicality and defense," Stauskas said. "It’s an adjustment and I’m just getting better every day on it." Stauskas went on to say that his play during his rookie season was "very poor," but he'll have a chance at redemption playing in Philadelphia. Still, after shooting just 36.5 percent from the field during his rookie year, he won't be worth much more than a late-round flier on draft day.

Jake Fischer of Sports Illustrated said that it's highly unlikely that Carl Landry will stick around with the 76ers.

The 76ers could pursue a trade, a buyout or simply waive the 31-year-old veteran, and that would likely happen before training camp. Landry is currently recovering from wrist surgery and it's possible that he isn't ready to start the season, but it's also clear that Landry isn't in Philly's long-term plans. In case it isn't obvious, Landry isn't on the standard league radar.

Following the news that Jason Thompson was traded to the Warriors, Richaun Holmes could be in the rotation for the 76ers next season.

Holmes recently signed a four-year deal with the 76ers, so it would make a lot of sense to give him some run early on. He is currently recovering from a fractured elbow, but he will begin shooting and working out next week and should be good for training camp. Holmes would come off the bench behind Nerlens Noel if he impresses at training camp, but he won't see enough action to matter in standard leagues.

The 76ers sent out a statement on July 11 saying that Embiid would undergo a season-ending bone graft surgery on his foot "in the next 7-10 days", but 20 days have now gone by without an answer from the franchise. It is still unclear if Embiid has already had the surgery, so this situation is odd to say the least. The 76ers haven't been very transparent throughout this process, but we will be sure to update Embiid's status as soon as we know more. To be clear, Embiid is still expected to miss the entire 2015-16 season unless we hear otherwise.
